Titan Studios’ darkly humorous multiplayer strategy title Fat Princess will miss its intended June release date and instead arrive sometime in July or August.

Sony Computer Entertainment Europe’s Mike Kebby broke the news on the company’s official PlayStation Blog EU: “I can confirm for you it will not be next week I’m afraid. The game is coming at some point this summer, but there is no confirmed release date at the moment.”

There is a silver lining, however. Kebby stated that the princess-capturing sim “will have a global release date,” meaning that it will hit the PlayStation Store in all territories worldwide on the same day.

Fat Princess is a top-down, class-based capture-the-flag game with a twist. Instead of grabbing a flag and running home, teams are tasked with capturing a princess trapped in the opposing team’s castle. What’s more, players can fatten up their own princess by feeding her cake, making her harder for the enemy team to carry.

The downloadable game was a big hit at E3 earlier this month and is expected to be a hit when it lands on the PlayStation 3 this summer. Later this year, a PSP version will follow.
